Jungle or animal print costume ?

Platinum Fashion Mall in Pratunam has a whole floor of costume and party wear that people tend to miss. The third floor has a few stalls with printed rompers and onesies in that thin cotton you're after, usually around 350 baht. It's air conditioned inside so you can actually take your time browsing without melting.

Hit up Chatuchak market on a weekend, there's a ton of stalls selling cheap funky print pajamas in thin cotton. You'll find animal prints everywhere for like 200-300 baht.

check out the costume shops along khao san road, they've got racks of cheap animal print stuff that'll work for a party. the fabric's usually that thin synthetic stuff that breathes okay but won't hold up after one wash. there's also a place called costume plaza near chatuchak that's open weekdays if you want better quality prints for like 400-500 baht

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
